The Mustangs-first, last and always.  But those Lincolns are very appealing.  Could a manufacturer get away with suicide doors nowadays?

Besides Rolls Royce, Lincoln did briefly with a low volume version of the Continental a few years ago.

Wonder who all the suits are, definitely not a truck driver.

San Jose, CA. factory.........Ford had to open a plant in CA to keep up with demand. BTW my old 81 Mustang I owned from 83-87 was built there.

They must have had a marshalling yard at the plant. Not all of those cars were built there. Mustangs on the train leaving for other regions and the other cars on the way to West Coast dealers?

Great picture, but a posed publicity shot for sure with all the "suits" standing around.

That would be my thought. My 81 was interesting as it was built at the San Jose plant but was not for sale in Calf. and had a slightly different exhaust for the 4 banger than the Mich. Mustang's.

The old San Jose (Milpitas) Ford plant is now a shopping mall.

Interesting.  Been to that mall a couple times when I was in the area. 

[Chuck Most]

Definitely not Dearborn. Continentals only came from Wixom.

[Rodent]

Google hits seem to suggest that it is the Rouge Complex. Now that I think of it, it can't be San Jose. The original assembly building is still standing and it looks nothing like that. It is a way spread out single level.

It is most likely a staged publicity photo with the suits present, but if they had a marshalling yard there, cars from other plants would be present for distribution by truck.

That picture is of the Dearborn Assembly Plant 

The elevated road in the background is Miller Rd.

When I was in grade school they took us on a field trip to the Mustang assembly plant 2 years in a row 1967 and 1968

my dad worked for Ford Motor /Rouge Steel for 32 years which is in the same complex as the Mustang assembly plant

On second thought , that elevated road might be Rotunda Drive

[Jon Haigwood]

Looks like it is Mustangs only in the employee parking lot
